Strong Support For Local GP Surgeries

A new MORI survey for the British Medical Association (BMA) reveals the strength of the UK public's support for local GP surgeries. Three quarters (75%) of the public agree their local GP surgery is more important to them than having access to a variety of health services in walk-in centres in public buildings.

Technical details

MORI interviewed a representative quota sample of 2,133 adults in the UK, aged 15 or over, face-to-face in their homes, between 17-21 February 2005 in 203 sampling points, using CAPI methodology. Data have been weighted to the known profile of the UK population.
